I don't know if this would qualify but... There is a small part in one chapter of Richard Ford's Children of Ashgaroth H/B in which the two main characters find a long deserted nuclear shelter left fully stocked from an ancient cataclysm. Only the author knows how they did it but the two of them feast on wine and canned food that must have been centuries old and only end up tipsy.

Absolutely it would! :D Great find, Len!Honestly, I just came across two books that are largely set in bomb shelters and couldn't find a relevant list, so...! :) The bar is not high. Your book fits beautifully, I feel!
